To turn 0.5 into a fraction, first notice that there is only 1 number after the decimal point and the 5 in 0.5 is in the tenths place. The 5 in the tenths place can represent [tex]\frac{5}{10}[/tex]. We can reduce the fraction to [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2.
